Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 124. Tomorrow's Tom's
It was one of the best rooftop bars in Brooklyn, and it was called Tomorrow's Tom's. From the top of The Queen's Bell Hotel, right on the 27th floor, the guests' eyes were treated to beautiful skyline views from the terrace and conservatory. From there, they could see a 360-degree view of New York City. The bar was known for its dynamic menu of original and classic cocktails alongside craft beer and wine. It was quite famous in the city, therefore one needed to make a reservation to be able to enjoy the views and menu offered. It was said that the line was always long, but Karl probably got a shortcut because the bar's owner, Tom Huges, was his best friend. Therefore, it could be said that the people from EntertainMEN had the privilege of being able to enjoy everything at the bar tonight because of their connection. There were indoor and outdoor areas in the bar, and because it was forecasted that the sky tonight would be clear and there were no signs of rain, Ka
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 125. Did You Block Me?
“Uh, I think I should find another table,” Tammy was the one who broke the silence because neither Jessica nor Tyler had said anything since Tyler arrived at their table. Tyler just stood there looking at the blonde woman, but his lips remained in a thin line instead of opening and saying anything to her. Awkward was the only word that could be used to describe the atmosphere, and Tammy probably couldn't take it anymore. "No," Jessica answered firmly without looking at her. Her blue eyes were fixed on the man as she continued, “Just keep sitting there and don't move anywhere, Tam. Mr. Edwards arrived later than you, so he should be the one looking for another table because there are no empty seats at our table.” Jessica intended to choose a table consisting of two chairs in the corner of the outdoor area. She didn't want anyone to disturb her, and she could probably only tolerate her assistant at the moment. That was why she only invited her assistant t
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 126. You Kept Staring At Him
The reason why Jessica suddenly looked surprised was because several girls from her company suddenly squealed with joy after seeing someone coming. It was none other than Matt Habrew who had just arrived at the rooftop, and he was immediately welcomed by those enthusiastic young women. Just like when Jessica last saw the man more than a month ago, the man's hair was still gray. It was almost autumn, but the man confidently appeared in a black tank top combined with black cargo pants tonight, as if daring to brave the strong wind on the rooftop. He was like the only star on the cloudy night when he finally appeared on the rooftop. His presence completely changed the atmosphere, and everyone couldn't even take their eyes off his figure. Even Jessica kept looking at the man, but maybe the reason wasn't the same as the fangirls. Tyler even frowned in displeasure when he found out that he was being ignored by the woman who was currently eyeing another man.
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 127. Dare, Drink, or Dance
Following Karl's orders, everyone gathered in a circle in front of the stage in the outdoor area of the rooftop bar. There were around thirty people there, and although they were actually from different backgrounds, they blended as they formed a circle in front of the stage. Jessica was one of the people gathered there. Standing to her left was Tammy, while to her right was Matt. She didn't even know why she ended up standing side by side with the superstar, but she assumed it was better than Tyler standing next to her. Yes, she managed to avoid Tyler this time, and her blue eyes could see how the raven-haired man was standing across from her in the circle, and she could also see how he was watching her the whole time. She could only turn away from that man in the end. "Everyone has gathered here, right?” Karl finally spoke again. He was also standing in a circle, and he was actually standing not far from Jessica—only four people separated them, includi
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 128. The White Zombie
It was Lisa that ‘the ghost’ chose on the first round of the game, and Karl laughed in amusement as he asked the girl, “So, what will you choose, Miss Tomminson? Dare, drink, or dance?” There must be a trap in every choice Karl made, and that was why Lisa didn't make a decision straight away. Instead, she asked, “Who will give me a dare if I choose it, sir? And what drink will I get? If I choose to dance, can I dance randomly?” “Ah, I did forget to explain further about the available options,” Karl nodded his head several times while admitting his mistake, but then continued, “I am the creator of the game, and I am also the boss here, so it is I who give you a dare if you choose it. For drinks, of course, I will give the most famous here, namely The White Zombie. Lastly, regarding dancing, you are required to do a funny dance, and you must not stop until everyone here laughs.” "..." Lisa seemed silent after receiving an explanation from her superior, bu
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 129. I Choose The Dare
Jessica cursed her luck tonight. She half-heartedly followed the crazy game initiated by her boss, and she didn't expect to be played by her boss like this. In the first round of the game, she could breathe a sigh of relief because the ugly, bloody head did not suddenly pop out of the ball when the ball was in her hands. Instead, the bloody head only appeared when the ball was in Lisa's hands. She looked calm even though her other colleagues felt sorry for the curly-haired girl, but now she was the one who felt pity from her colleagues after hearing how Karl casually asked her to make a choice. The pink ball was still in her hand, and Jessica silently cursed at it before she took a deep breath and raised her gaze so that she was looking at Karl. “Can you skip me, Karl? You still remember how I fainted a week ago, right? I'm still sick right now, and I might pass out again if you keep forcing me to do something I don't want to,” she tried to trick her boss in orde
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 130. A Kiss on the Cheek
Jessica wouldn't sit still this time. Today, since it was announced that there would be a party tonight, she was forced to just listen and not complain at all. There was no room for opinions, and that was why she ended up joining the party even though she didn't want to. When Karl started his crazy game, she also had no choice but to join in. However, when Karl even dared to cross the thick line that she had drawn, she couldn't take everything and began to show her strong disapproval. “Calm down, Jess!” Karl tried to calm her down. “This is just a game, and I have no bad intentions. Your husband isn't here, and Tyler is your husband's best friend, right? Your husband's best friend should be your best friend too, so it's okay to kiss him because it's just a challenge. Your husband will not scold you.” “Just because my husband isn't here, so it's okay if I cheat?” Jessica once again questioned her boss in an increased tone, showing that she was even more
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 131. A Rabbit Caught by Two Wolves
Unfortunately, the person she wanted to avoid the most was the person who silently followed her when she went down from the rooftop to the ground floor. Even when she was in the elevator, the person acted as her shadow as he stood behind her without saying anything. Jessica also chose to see the person as her shadow and pretended not to see him. Unfortunately, once again she had to meet another person she most wanted to avoid when she finally came out of the hotel and stood in front of the hotel lobby. Originally, she planned to call a taxi and go home quietly, but a familiar black car had just stopped in front of the lobby, and a familiar man had just gotten out of the car. “Why are you here, Noh?” It wasn't Jessica who asked that question, but the question came from Tyler who was standing next to her when they were in front of the hotel lobby. Indeed, it was Noah who had just gotten out of the black sedan and was standing in front of the two people wh

Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 240. EPILOGUE
“Mom, are we really going to stay overnight at Grandma's house today?” Glancing in the rearview mirror to look into the back seat, Jessica could see how her son kept swinging his legs while asking the question. His cute movements only showed that the blonde boy was very excited to hear his mother's answer. But, this wasn't even the first time Shane had asked that question, and Jessica actually had answered the same question before. Thankfully, Jessica didn't get tired of hearing her son's excitement, and she smiled while shaking her head helplessly before answering, "We're going to have a sleepover at Grandma's house for real, but why are you so excited about that, Shane?" Jessica could keep glancing at the boy because she didn't need to focus on driving. But, the answer to her question came not from her son but from her daughter, "That's because Grandma promised us that she would tell us more stories about Grandpa, Mommy! We wonder if Grandpa is more like me or Shane!" "Of cou
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 239. Their Love Was Sealed
“What is 'proposing,' Mommy? Why do you keep saying that word?” Impatiently, Shane continued to pull the side of Jessica's shirt while asking the question. It was indeed the little boy who responded to Jessica even though the question was directed at Noah. But, that didn't upset the woman, and instead, she looked satisfied as she smiled at the boy before answering, “You'll have to ask your favorite Daddy about that word, Shane. He would know more than me about that word.” Jessica did direct her answer to her son, but her eyes glanced at Noah when she said her last sentence. Noah looked cornered, he even tried to look away from the mother and son pair. The artificial light around the area reflected on the man's forehead after he took off the cat head, and it looked glistening with sweat, either because of his cat costume or because of his nervousness. Jessica didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop her from staring intently at the man while waiting for his answer. "Proposin
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 238. The Magic Camera
“So, where is your Daddy now? Did he run away after giving my son a stup—a funny task?” Gritting her teeth to suppress her annoyance, Jessica questioned her son, almost failing to restrain herself from uttering the word "stupid." However, it was not her son who responded. Instead, it was her daughter who suddenly tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn towards the little girl. “Daddy didn't run away, Mom,” the little girl said, and Jessica thought she would continue to say something. That's why Jessica remained silent waiting for her daughter to explain what she had just said, but the little girl didn't say anything and just moved her little hands towards the pink backpack hanging on her back. Jessica didn't know what the girl was doing, but she could see how the girl unzipped her backpack before taking something out of it. To Jessica's surprise, the thing the girl had just taken out of her backpack was a camera. To be pr
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 237. Are You Going to Propose?
In the end, Jessica decided to give Noah a second chance. Yes, a second chance to be closer to her children.The reason behind her decision was that her children really liked Noah since the first time they met at the mall ice cream shop when she accompanied Tammy to buy a birthday present for her husband. It could be said that the ice cream succeeded in buying the kids' love, and they really liked spending time with the person who bought them the ice cream.Actually, that was not a bad thing, but Jessica was quite annoyed by the stubbornness of her children who kept calling Noah "daddy." It was clearly Noah's fault for casually confirming that he was indeed the twins' father, and Jessica continued to curse the man in her heart from that day on.She didn't even realize that a week had passed since her mother left the hospital and started living again in Noah's old apartment. Due to her mother's pleading, she ended up staying in that apartment as well rather
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 236. A Second Chance
“That… that's too cheesy! Aren't we going to buy food for my mother and children? We better leave now or they will eat us alive if they get too hungry," Jessica tried to change the topic of their conversation when she started to feel nervous because of what Noah had just said to her. She even averted her gaze to look at anything as long as it wasn't Noah's face, and that was why she didn't notice the hopeful expression on the man's face. "You just said that what I said was too cheesy, but you didn't say that you didn't believe what I said," Noah replied, ignoring the fact that Jessica was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Finally, Jessica could no longer avoid the man's face, and she once again looked at him with her pair of blue eyes. At this moment, she could finally see a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. "To be honest, Tammy has told me everything related to you," Jessica finally said the truth.
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 235. Her Confidence
“Why didn't you remarry after we divorced five years ago?” Jessica's voice was finally heard in the car. "Is it because you still can't get over Tyler?"Suddenly, Noah sneered before replying, “Do you think I love that man so much that I can't replace him with someone else? I don't know if this information is useful for you or not, but the truth is that I didn't really love him when we were together.""You didn't really love him but you still wanted to be with him even though it meant betraying our marriage," Jessica answered sarcastically, and Noah looked stunned by her answer.For a moment, Noah could only stare at the blonde without being able to utter a word with his mouth, but then he took a deep breath before saying, “I believe love and guilt are two different things, and I differentiated them clearly when I was still with him. I betrayed our marriage because of my feelings of guilt, not because of my love for him.”Jessica was the one who d
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 234. The Similar Situation
Jessica didn't know what to say after hearing Noah just say what was on his mind and heart, but for some reason, she felt familiar with the situation. The familiar feeling she felt in her heart made her anxious, her hands even moved to grip her jeans tightly as if asking for support from the blue fabric.“You probably think that my situation is similar to your children's situation, right?”Jessica felt her heart stop beating for a moment after hearing what Noah had just asked. It was actually impossible for her heart to stop beating while she was still alive, but she was truly surprised by the question. She finally understood why she felt anxious about Noah's story. That was because the story reminded her of her children.“I am the illegitimate child of that billionaire, and your children are the same even if their father is not a billionaire. They are very young now, but their lives are probably as full of drama as mine. Their lives will be full of lies a
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 233. Noah's Dramatic Life
After everything that happened to her five years ago, Jessica really didn't like surprises. Back then, many unexpected things happened to her, and none of them were pleasant surprises. That was why she felt traumatized by unexpected things, but today, she kept getting unexpected things since she came to the hospital to see her mother.First, a surprise came in the form of Noah, and second, it was in the form of the fact that her mother ended up living in Noah's old apartment. As if that wasn't enough, Noah then told her that he wanted to discuss a matter with her alone, and in the end, Jessica could only follow the man's lead.They were once again in Noah's car, and Jessica had fastened her seat belt. She prepared to look for something for her mother and her children's lunch, but she was puzzled because Noah did not start the car immediately.“Did you forget your wallet?” Confused, Jessica asked the man while looking at him.Her thinking was indee
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 232. Noah's Apartment
In fact, Jessica had no plans at all to get into her ex-husband's car. Even her ex-husband's appearance at the hospital was not her plan at all, but in the end, she could only surrender and agree to get into the vehicle.Her mother first sat in the second row of seats with the twins, and she had no choice but to take the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. On the way to her mother's house, Noah, her mother, and the twins continued to chat happily about everything, but Jessica remained silent. None of those people seemed to notice her, and that was why she was lost in thought during the journey.She was actually drowned by the fact that she was passing through a route that she used to travel in the past. She didn't know her mother's new address, but she was sure that every street the car took was familiar to her eyes. It brought a feeling of nostalgia that both warmed and chilled her heart.At first, she ignored the familiarity she felt, assuming that
